Web reporting -- Table interface --Sorting table

Hi.
We want to display an extremely complex query in the Web, which returns about 40.000 rows.
Our users are however only interested in the fifteen 'Overall result'-rows of this query. Therefore we try to find a possibility to suppress all the 'normal' data rows.
I have an idea, where in the Table Interface would like to try to "mark" these 15 rows each with a unique number (from 1..15, in an added column in my table). I would then want to sort this table according to my new column, thus giving me a table that first displays these 15 rows. Now I can set in the WAD: Display the first 15 rows.
Is this achievable? Could anyone provide coding examples that could help me do this?
Thank you,
Jon

Jon,
I do not think that would be possible. The table interface is something like a line by line interpreter which interprets the data coming and converts it to HTML.
Hence for you to be able to mark the result rows would mean that the whole query of 40,000 rows has to be rendered.
Another option is to use a prequery to retrieve the result rows , and if you display only the result rows of the query , will your purpose be satisfied ?

Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
"PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

Sri,
With respect to your 1st requirement:
In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder. I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
With respect to your 2nd requirement:
The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

Table Interface for Excel report?

I have been working with the nice feature of MODIFY_TABLE in web tables. It is very usefull to alter the table to more specific needs.
Now my question: is there a possibility to modify classes so that you can adapt the table before it is shown in an excel sheet?
Thank you in advance!
Bart

Hi Deepak,
I was already thinking in 'my solution': starting from an Excel workbook that opens a web report, searches the result table and transforms this table into the Excel sheet.
1° Opening an url in Excel.Tis is possible in Excel. So in worst case we have to use string operations to filter the result tabel in the web page and transform a html table into an Excel tabel.
2° Layout of the html table When we want the current status of the report (with drill down and things like that), we should first make a bookmark. Then we can use this bookmark as url to open the web page in Excel. -> layout and current drill status can be imported from HTML into Excel.
3° authorization. As the url will open a web page on the WAS server, the user will have to provide a username and password. So this problem is also 'solved' because the authentication is done by the server.
Concerning the "Print with Excel" method...
1° If I am right, changes made by JavaScript do not effect the exported Excel report as JavaScript is client side, so the server (the instance that generates the excel) is not aware of the changes made by JS. Right or do I forget something?
2° My biggest concern is the use of xslt in the html code. This is not very handy for people who are not familiar with html. Besides, not all the changes I make in the xslt have effect on the result (for example: when the printed table takes more than one table, the column headers are not repeated on every page, at least not in a dynamic way). But maybe it is a mistake from my side
When I would work with an Excel workbook that takes an url and creates the report itself by extracting the data, extra macro's could be added (I think this is not possible by using xslt or Office HTML)
Thank you for you comments Deepak!

Export Data of a Web Report having 2-3 Queries(tables) Onto 1 Excel Sheet

I have a Report designed in Web Application Designer. It has 2 or more Table Web Items in it to which different queries are bound.
Although the data of these queries is shown as one Report but to the user it is very annoying when he has to export the Data separately for each block and then copy-paste in order to have a single Exported File (as till then the user thinks it is just one Report).
The question is : Is there a way in which one can Export entire Data of a Web Report having 2 Queries(tables) Onto 1 Excel Sheet once, so that 2-3 exports or more from context Menu, and then copy-paste from excel, can be avoided?

Hi , I have gone through this document
got this installed (the pre requisites) through SAP admin.
& now the code in html pane is as below :
First I am trying with Button option with only one dataprovider. Later will do changes for context menu option & more dataproviders.
But when i click on "Web printing with excel" , progress bar finishes & nothing happens.
Should't the result set be exported to Excel
Am i missing on some part.
Best Regards

Changing Text Headings in Web Report

Hi SDN,
Can you please assist us in this scenario, as i have not worked with Table Interface Class previously, and if you can help out with the steps it would be much appreciated.
We have created a query which uses 2 structures in the Rows area. To this extent, we have dragged the fiscal year period characteristic in the column area.
Rather than being able to use a 3rd structure, we now have in the columns area
JUN 2006 | JUL 2006..... | DEC 2006
What we would like to see instead is:
JUN 2006 | JUL 2006..... | DEC 2006
Actual Forecast Forecast
If you can provide sample code and or steps to achieve this situation, it would assist us greatly.
Thank you.

Hi SDN community,

WebI report - Report filters question

All,
please help me in understanding if it's possible to have a report filter containing all the possibile values for the dimension it refers to, so that changing the value in this filter, the query is refreshed and shows data according to the new selection.
E.g. In a WebI report I have a table with columns DEPARTMENT, SALES_VALUE and a prompt for "MONTH", so that data in the report are referred to a single month. If I insert the MONTH dimension as a report filter, the drop down list shows only the month selected in the prompt.
My question: is it possible having MONTH query filter drop down list containing all months (not only the month selected in the prompt), so that I can refresh data in the report changing selection in this list? I mean, In the moment I choose another MONTH from the drop down list associated to the report filter, the report should refresh data (re-launch queries) according to the new month.
Hope I've been understandable in some way...
Many thanks for your valuable help!

Hi,
It is not possible to have the data for all the months if you are having a prompt on month and selecting only 1 in it as an input.
If you want the use of report filter then you have to remove prompt from the report as it will always bring the data for
a single month. You can remove the prompt and can have the filter at the report level, so that when you refresh the query for
the 1st time then whole 12 month of data will be available and then you will be able to select the months from the
drop down and will be able to see the monthly data without need to refresh again.

Rohit

Activate the methods/class and add this in the Web Template!
for example:

ZHCOLAPP is the table interface class in this case.

Hiding table items in web report when "no applicable data found"

Hi,
i want to hide a complete web item from a web report using web table interface
when i have the situation "no applicable data found".
I cannot use javascript due to requirements in my solution.
can i set some attributes in the START method in the class?
i can see there is an attribute N_NO_DATA which tells if no data is found.
Can i use this in the other methods to hide the complete table including table heading?
Best regards,
Jarle

Hello,
datas are available in the Cube, they are displayed when there is no filter or when only one single value is selected in the filter.
The problem happens when two or more values are selected in the filter.
Example :
The field selected is Profit Center.
Without filter the I can see :
PC1
PC2
PC3
etc...
If I select in filter the value PC1, I can see :
PC1
If I select in filter the value PC2, I can see :
PC2
But If I select in filter the values PC1 and PC2, I can see :
No Applicable Data Found.

"own checkboxes" in Web with Table Interface?????????u00DF

Hi to all experts,
i have the following scenario:
I am using a query in web. Well in the lines there is a characteristic (for example sales org) and in the columns a keyfigure with an exception and a top10 condition. I think exception and condition are not important for my problem but the table is. Now i want to see in front off all lines a checkbox. That means i have - for example - now 10 sales organizations in my query and in front of all sales orgs there should be a checkbox. I think that should be realized with table interface. Now the user should be able to mark two ore more checkboxes to jump with the Report Report Interface by using a link to another Web report? Is that possible? Sounds hard i think or isnt it?
Regards,
M. Erbil

Hi Memo,
try the following. Create a template with a web item table. Than by using se24 create your own class for table interface. Change method DATA_CELL.
method DATA_CELL.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->DATA_CELL
EXPORTING
   I_X                   =
   I_Y                   =
   I_VALUE               =
   I_DISPLAY_VALUE       =
   I_NUMERICAL_SCALE     =
   I_NUMERICAL_PRECISION =
   I_CURRENCY            =
   I_UNIT                =
   I_ALERTLEVEL          =
   I_IS_SUM              =
CHANGING
   C_CELL_ID             =
   C_CELL_CONTENT        =
   C_CELL_STYLE          =
   C_CELL_TD_EXTEND      =
data: l_cell_content type string.
if i_x = 2 and i_is_sum <> 'X'.
    concatenate l_cell_content '<INPUT type=checkbox value=ON name='
    '' filter '' '>' into
    l_cell_content.
    c_cell_content = l_cell_content.
endif.
endmethod.
You can hold the value from characteristic in method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL:
method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->CHARACTERISTIC_CELL
EXPORTING
   I_X              =
   I_Y              =
   I_IOBJNM         =
   I_AXIS           =
   I_CHAVL_EXT      =
   I_CHAVL          =
   I_NODE_IOBJNM    =
   I_TEXT           =
   I_HRY_ACTIVE     =
   I_DRILLSTATE     =
   I_DISPLAY_LEVEL =
   I_USE_TEXT       =
   I_IS_SUM         =
   I_IS_REPETITION =
   I_FIRST_CELL     = RS_C_FALSE
   I_LAST_CELL      = RS_C_FALSE
   I_CELLSPAN       =
   I_CELLSPAN_ORT   =
CHANGING
   C_CELL_ID        =
   C_CELL_CONTENT   =
   C_CELL_STYLE     =
   C_CELL_TD_EXTEND =
data: l_filter type string.
Store characteristic value of current row
if i_x = 1 and i_is_sum <> 'X'.
l_filter = i_chavl.
endif.
endmethod.
Please note that "i_chavl" holds the key value from characteristic.
Now back to method DATA_CELL and insert something like this:
filter = l_filter. "l_filter is set in method characteristic cell
so it look like this:
method DATA_CELL.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->DATA_CELL
EXPORTING
   I_X                   =
   I_Y                   =
   I_VALUE               =
   I_DISPLAY_VALUE       =
   I_NUMERICAL_SCALE     =
   I_NUMERICAL_PRECISION =
   I_CURRENCY            =
   I_UNIT                =
   I_ALERTLEVEL          =
   I_IS_SUM              =
CHANGING
   C_CELL_ID             =
   C_CELL_CONTENT        =
   C_CELL_STYLE          =
   C_CELL_TD_EXTEND      =
data: l_cell_content type string,
        filter type string.
if i_x = 2 and i_is_sum <> 'X'.
filter = l_filter.
    concatenate l_cell_content '<INPUT type=checkbox value=ON name='
    '' filter '' '>' into
    l_cell_content.
    c_cell_content = l_cell_content.
endif.
endmethod.
Hope it works

How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

Hi,
I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Monika

Hi Monika,
It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
Thanks

Access table directly from database in BO 4.0 WebI Report without using Universe

Can i use the table avilable in database directly to make BO 4.0 WebI Report without create any universe.
I realy appeiciate your help.
Thank you in advance.

You need to create a universe for Relational SQL databases. Universe is a must. The reason you create universe is for the end users. WebI is designed for end users to create their own reports. It is a self service reporting tool. In order to do that, you need universe which allows users to query database using SQL without knowing SQL language.
If you don't want to create a universe for reporting then you can use Crystal Reports instead of WebI

Sorting on two reports based on same table

Hi,
I have two reports on the same page, that show rows from a table.
Each table has a different condition, so that there is no overlapping rows.
The problem i have run into, is that i have enabled sort on the columns in both reports - there are instances when there are no rows shown in one of the reports.
when i click on a column name to sort on that column, i get the error
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
in the report that shows no values. i understand what the error means, but am having some trouble finding a way of solving it.
any help would be much appreciated!

Look here:
Column sort gives "failed to parse SQL query"
